Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.
The Epic Games Store brought forth two freebies this week, but via two promotions. Aside from the usual weekly offer, it also brought back the popular Hogwarts Legacy giveaway just for the weekend, giving you a chance to grab the hit Harry Potter universe-set open-world game until May 3.
As for the standard offer, you can grab Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure until May 7. As evident by the name, this focuses on automated gameplay but also offers real-time strategy aspects for players as they explore and build logistics networks without conveyor belts.
Coming next week are Trash Goblin and Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure as the latest wave of freebies hitting PC gamers on the store.
In the bundle front, you can now grab the Playism Publisher collection. This carries games like Bright Memory: Infinite, DEEEER Simulator, Mind Diver, Samurai Bringer, Astebreed, Fight Crab, and more for $13 for the entire bundle.
Next landed the Dead Rising: Shop "Til You Drop Bundle. As the name suggests, the bundle is all about Dead Rising, with everything from the original"s remaster to the latest entry, Dead Rising 4, which can be had for a good chunk of money. Grabbing all the tiers will set you back $35, giving you five games to keep.
Free Events
If you"re looking to try new games out over the weekend without opening the wallet, three free events are running on Steam right now.
Kart racing fans can jump into Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, the Sega title featuring racing across land, sea, air, and space. If it"s a cooperative title you"re looking for, No More Room in Hell 2 is offering eight-player zombie-slaughtering action. Lastly, all your grand strategy needs can also be satisfied thanks to the Victoria 3 free weekend that"s also live right now.
